Harrison Phillips: Everything you need to know

Phillips recorded 60 tackles (22 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and two passes defensed across 17 appearances in 2025. After coming over in a trade from Minnesota shortly before the start of the regular season, Phillips proceeded to play in all 17 regular-season games for the fourth consecutive campaign and reached the 60-tackle mark for only the second time in his eight-year NFL career. His cap hit will climb from $4.2 million in 2025 to $7.5 million in 2026, but given Phillips' solid on-field production and off-field leadership coupled with the Jets' lack of depth on the interior of the defensive line, the Jets will likely be willing to eat that increase for his age-30 season.

Phillips (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Phillips has not missed a game yet this season, participating in all 15 of the Jets' contests in the 2025 campaign. The defensive tackle has played over 60 percent of snaps for six consecutive weeks, a pattern he will likely continue in Sunday's divisional contest. In the Jets' last meeting with the Patriots during Week 11, Phillips logged five tackles (two solo) on 41 defensive snaps.

Phillips (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Phillips has been nursing a foot injury since early November, but it has not been severe enough for him to miss any games, and that trend will continue Sunday. The 2018 third-rounder has recorded 38 tackles (13 solo), including 0.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble through 11 regular-season games.
